Most people think of William Shakespeare as a great poet and playwright,
but during the period 1578 - 1582 and then again from 1585 - 1592 (commonly referred to by Shakespeare Scholars & Historians
as "The Lost Years") no-one has ever known exactly what Will got up to... until now that is!

So, if you've ever wondered how a relatively uneducated 14 year old schoolboy
became the world's greatest playwright with in-depth knowledge of the Law, Ancient Rome, European Myth & Folklore
as well as Military History and the lives of the English Aristocracy before the age of the internet, then look no further
as present the "only possible solution" to this conundrum that has baffled scholars for years.

William Shakespeare was a time travelling wizard. There, we've said it
- there is no other possible way he could have gained all that knowledge...

The Lost Years of William Shakespeare as depicted
in the best selling Chronicles of Wizard's Thatch series of books are vividly brought to life in this enchanting new attraction.
With pinches of magic, time travel, supernatural adventures, magical puzzles and twists in history, the Lost Years contains
everything that you would expect to find in Will's own work.

Tickets: £10.00 Adults, £7.00 Children, Students, Seniors*

*Different pricing applies when visiting Father Christmas in November

Welcome to the Original Wizarding World

created a full seven
years before the first Harry Potter book was published

So, which came first Magic Alley

or JK Rowling's Diagon Alley?

The first Magic Alley & Creaky Cauldron store opened just off the Greenwich
High Road in London in 1990 a full 7 years before the publication of the first Harry Potter book.

Who would have thought when we started
selling wands, spells, books, broomsticks and "Original Tudor Recipe ButterBeer" all those years ago how much the
world would have changed over the years.

Everything we do is based on the bestselling Chronicles of Wizard’s Thatch series of books and we do
not sell Harry Potter merchandise.

However,
we'd like to thank JK Rowling for creating her magical world and in turn making our magical world even
more accessible. And although our London store is sadly no longer open, we'd like to encourage you to seek the magic of
the original Wizarding World here in Stratford upon Avon for yourself.
